back again in some of my favorite articles of clothing. i can’t seem to resist wearing a pinafore just about every day lately. if not a pinafore, then a pair of jeans (which i really should document more frequently in photos). and this top. i want to wear it every day! lauren moffatt makes a new version of this silk pintuck top in a different print each season and they’ve quickly become my new go-to blouse. she is a print master, so they always add just the right touch of whimsy to a simple outfit. then top it all off with a pair of swedish hasbeens and this is pretty much my summer uniform.

this weekend, i was so ready to pull out a gauzy white dress to run around in the springy sunshine, but mother nature had different plans. it was kinda grey and windy all weekend and i was forced to layer up, but i figured i’d at least have some fun with citrusy colors and bold stripes. kind of a nice way to conjure up some cheerful vibes to enjoy a chill sunday. wore this for a tasty brunch at lynn & lu’s, a favorite breakfast spot about a block away from my house. they make a mean oat pancake with blueberry sauce! and for the evening, we took a stroll a few blocks in the other direction to piedmont theater to see frances ha. it’s still pretty new, so i won’t spoil it for you, but i thought it was pretty cute.

well look who the cat dragged in? i know my face has been a little absent from this space, but with holiday travels, work, and some continued health issues, it’s been hard for me to get in front of the camera lately. but i’m still here, quietly collecting my summer basics and enjoying my “time off” from the internet. i wore this outfit last weekend while visiting family for memorial day weekend. it felt very appropriately all-american, even though it’s actually a pretty international outfit what with swedish clogs and a dress designed by london-based j.w. anderson. but don’t all of these pieces kinda scream classic americana? a denim pinafore, a crisp white t-shirt, ’70s-style clogs, ray-bans, and a coach classic. just the sort of basics to wear while hanging around the bbq and ringing in the summer on a low-key weekend.
